January and the new year..

January is always a bit of an odd month for me. I generally do a lot of planning for the year ahead, thinking about exhibitions and events, I slip in some catching up on paperwork but I have to get outside with various excuses......painting in the camper on a fine day, maybe an hour in the garden or sawing wood for my cute new little wood burner. My newly altered kitchen/dining room has brought the chance to be creative by re-building my kitchen - evening work now hols are over.... So here I am at my work station - great view to the neighbours fence, a paper mache bowl I decorated on the "Matisse cut outs day workshop" on top of a speaker (I am never without music of some sort) A very functional bit of card to keep the sun out of my eyes at a certain time of year (probably not now, think I will take it down...that's better, more sky...) My sticky notes to remind me what I do when the keyboard just keeps pointing a finger, the best time to post on facebook. My small notice board to the right has mostly favourite pictures - postcards or ditties like 'I don't have baggage, I have haulage' (not true but it makes me giggle.....) Now part of my planning is to do more social media - so find me on facebook, twitter, and now instagram for more insights in to my work and my every day life!! - perhaps find out how I can put my social media tags as links!! - try searching fo Hilary Thorpe, see what you find!! - I suppose that might help my google ratings??....yawn.....
